Showing or hiding elements using the Conditional Content Script wizard
The Conditional Script Wizard helps you to show or hide an element – a paragraph, image or
other HTML element - based on the value of one or more data fields and runtime parameters.
For example, you could check whether the data field 'State' is 'Equal To' the value 'British
Columbia' or 'Québec', to include a paragraph only for recipients in those states.
To open the Conditional Script wizard:
l Select one or more elements, right-click and choose Make Conditional.
l Alternatively, click the black triangle on the New button on the Scripts pane at the bottom
left of the window, and click Conditional Content Script.
In the wizard, first make the following settings.
1. Rename the script so that it reflects what the script does.
Note
Scripts can only have the same name when they are not in the same folder. (See
"Managing scripts" on page396.)
2. Type a Selector. The selector selects one or more pieces of text or elements from the
template, so that the conditional content script can hide or show those pieces.
An ID (for example: #conditional-script) is best if you want to show or hide one element
only.
Use a class selector (for example: .conditional) if the script should show or hide more
than one element. See "Using the Text Script Wizard" on page349 for further explanation
on selectors.
When you start the Conditional Script Wizard by right-clicking an element, the Selector
field is pre-populated with the element's ID and class (or classes). If the element didn't
have an ID or class, it gets a new ID (or class, in case multiple elements were selected)
that is generated automatically.
If you'd want to change the selector later, you can do that after reopening the script
(double-click the name of the script in the Scripts pane).
